We stayed in this hotel for two weeks (the last decade of September - early October). In my opinion, this is probably the best time to relax in Cyprus - there is no more unbearable summer heat, but still warm enough to swim and sunbathe. The weather has always been great; although once it rained, it quickly stopped and had no effect on air or water temperature.
Hotel. Our hotel at the transfer was the last, it is at a good distance from Protaras. The hotel itself looks nice, clean and tidy. It is located on the 1st line, half of the rooms have a balcony on the sea side, the other half - on the city side.
We were settled quickly - it took about 5 minutes. It was obvious that we were waiting, because I filled out a simple form (name, where we came from), and we immediately saw a pack of cards that were already on the alert.
The tavern (which served lunch and dinner) and the a-la carte restaurant are located in separate rooms, not near the main building, but they will be located right on the beach, and you could have lunch and dinner enjoying the sea and fresh air.
The hotel has a gym and sauna, but we did not go there.
Number. I'll tell you straight, at first the room upset us with its modest size. Since we were four (two parents and two children aged 2 and 6), we had a Family Room. But it turned out to be an ordinary Double (for two), where a bunk bed was delivered. In addition, this bunk bed looks like a box attached to the wall, and the beds themselves can be removed / lowered like shelves in a train. These "shelves" are quite narrow, and the first night the son even fell out of bed (it is good that he slept on the lower tier).
The younger child slept with us on a large double bed, so we removed the ladder to another tier (the ladder is also kind of unreliable in appearance, very uncomfortable for children) and used the top "shelf" to put things there. Due to this additional construction of the beds, the passage between the large bed and the bunk bed was very narrow, the height of the second "shelf" was such that someone constantly hit it: the son - the head, my husband and I - the shoulders. There were also only two bedside tables (indicating that the room is not designed for 4 people), the closet is not large and had 8 hangers. There was nowhere to put the suitcases, and they took up the rest of the free space on the floor.
It also turned out that the air conditioner hung directly over the bunk bed, the distance from the top shelf to the air conditioner was 70 cm (I did not hesitate to measure), and if someone really slept there, we would not be able to use the air conditioner.
The bathroom is spacious, clean, with quality plumbing.
In addition, we did not have a shower room, but a bathroom. Soap, except for the arrival, was applied once, shower caps, shampoo or shower gel was not at all; there were no interruptions with toilet paper.
For those who think that Ukrainian (well, Russian) tourists get the worst numbers, I will say that foreigners lived next to us in the same rooms; and in larger (respectively, more expensive) rooms housed both Ukrainians and Russians, who paid extra for the size. So if you are going here, remember that it is better to buy a more spacious room from Kiev.
Food. Now this hotel operates on an all-inclusive basis for all tourists. This is very convenient for the Perneri area, as there are not as many restaurants here as in Protaras, and you can't get there by bus or taxi every time.
There was a lot of food, quite tasty, there was a choice of dishes.
Breakfasts can be called monotonous, because nothing has changed, but if we assume that at home I still cook for breakfast not 18 dishes, then there was plenty to choose from (4 types, vegetables, olives, fried potatoes, beans with sauce, French toast, sausages , sausages, baked tomatoes, grapefruits, slicing cheese and ham, something like baby cheese with different flavors, pastries, cookies, fruit, a bunch of different toasts, butter, jams, tea and coffee you make yourself in the coffee machine).
Lunches and dinners were more varied, there were always different types of meat: chicken and pork, fish, turkey, several times lamb; puree soup (most soups, despite their different names, had the same taste); potatoes cooked in 3-4 ways, pasta, rice, several salads to choose from (some salads were quite bizarre in their combination of products), chopped vegetables and seasonings for them, olives.
Desserts were frankly weak, only the baklava was pleasing once a week (although I broke a tooth with a walnut shell in the groin lava).
Drinks are unlimited during breakfast, lunch and dinner. There were vending machines with wine (white, red, pink) and beer near the tavern (where lunches and parties took place) and everyone could pour as much as they wanted.
Also in the bar from 11.00 to 18.00 were snacks (french fries, burgers, pizza, spaghetti). Ice cream during the day.
Beach. The beach starts 20 steps from the hotel. This is a small bay with calm water, no waves, a gentle entrance into the water, which is extremely convenient for children. Unfortunately, the sand on the beach disappointed me: during the whole hour of rest I didn't notice anyone cleaning it, so there were a lot of cigarette butts in the sand, there were pieces of some balls, plastic cups and so on.
Sunbeds and umbrellas are paid (2.5 euros each), rent for the whole day, the beach worker issues a check for payment.
But you can come with your blanket and lie quietly on it. The hotel can take beach towels (they are exchanged for fresh 1 time in 3 days).
Mini club. The hotel has a mini club for Natalie Tours clients. However, it turned out that he worked only until the end of September. He worked in three "blocks": 10.00-13.00 (at this time we did not go because we were on the beach), 15.00-18.00 and 20.00-22.00 (including mini-disco). The girls-animators treated the children well, were attentive and patient, tried to entertain and interest. The theme of the mini-club was "Pirate Summer", so the animators were pirates with appropriate names, children received bandanas as a gift, earned piastres (for which they could then receive a gift - a flashlight, T-shirt, bag, etc. ).
Animation. We are good at entertaining ourselves, so we were least interested in animation. In the afternoon I saw some water aerobics in the pool, table tennis and darts competitions, etc . ; in the evening the bar had bingo and karaoke games.
Since the children got tired during the day and went to bed early, we did not go to these evening entertainments, we only watched the parrot show once (on Tuesdays) - the children liked it.
Excursions. We decided not to go on group excursions, because it is difficult to do with a 2-year-old child. They went to Protaras and Paralimni, walked, looked around. The guide from "Natalie Tours" saw us with a price list of excursions, and it turned out that the cheapest of them costs 40 euros, most tours for 70-90 euros per person (and before a trip to Israel for 300 euros). And in Protaras you can buy all this much cheaper (for example, ride a yacht for 10 euros per person, not 40).
Overall impression. Despite some of these disadvantages, the positive features far outweigh; we are very pleased with our choice of vacation spot and hotel; And, having some experience of traveling to many other countries and beach holidays, I would come back here, to Perner, especially if I went on vacation with children.
Tips and warnings.
The couple from Kyiv, who was standing in front of us in the queue for registration, generally had 1 suitcase for two, weighing 27 kg - they also had claims and demanded to pay a fine. I don't know what those couples were doing, but I bought the cheapest bag (11 euros) in a shop on the territory of the airport, and we repackaged the extra kilos there.
